Open Bar Beach Clubs in Cartagena — Unlimited Drinks and the Best Deals in the Rosario Islands
Which beach clubs near Cartagena include an open bar? Compare Capri, Mangata, Luxury Beach Club, Isla Bela and more: prices, drink windows and what is covered.
Short answer: the best open bar beach club near Cartagena is Luxury Beach Club on Isla Grande. The unlimited open bar is part of both adult plans, from arrival until the return boat, and plans start at $130 per adult (COP 419,000) with the boat and lunch included. The lowest priced open bar is the Flamante sunset cruise at $59. Among beach clubs, Kabanna on Tierra Bomba starts at $111 with no dock fee, and Isla Bela and Isla del Pirata also sell open bar plans at $130 in the Rosario Islands.
This guide explains what each open bar plan includes, which drinks and hours apply, what the atmosphere of each beach club is like, and when an open bar pays off compared with the same club without it. Prices are per adult in US dollars, as listed on our product pages in November 2026, with peso amounts converted at about COP 3,230 per dollar. You can also browse the full open bar experiences collection.
Open bar spaces in the Rosario Islands are limited and sell out first, especially on weekends and holidays. Reserve your spot early to secure your date.

Is an open bar worth it? The math with island prices
Drinks on the islands add up quickly. On average, a cocktail costs about COP 45,000 (about $14) and a national beer about COP 20,000 (about $6). At those prices the open bar can be the cheaper way to drink, as long as you drink enough during the open bar hours.
| Your drinks at island prices | Total cost |
|---|---|
| 2 cocktails and 2 beers | COP 130,000 ($40) |
| 4 cocktails and 4 beers | COP 260,000 ($81) |
| 6 cocktails and 6 beers | COP 390,000 ($121) |
Now compare that with the extra you pay for the open bar at each club, against the same club without it. The last column shows how many drinks it takes to break even.
| Club and upgrade | Extra cost for the open bar | Drinks that pay for it |
|---|---|---|
| Isla Bela: Traditional to Open Bar | COP 40,000 ($12) | 1 cocktail or 2 beers |
| Mantas VIP: Daybed to Daybed + Open Bar | COP 40,000 ($12) | 2 cocktails (2x1 price) or 2 beers |
| Isla del Sol: Standard to Open Bar | COP 60,000 ($19) | 2 cocktails or 3 beers |
| Capri: Classic to Premium | COP 90,000 ($28) | 2 cocktails or 5 beers |
| Mangata: Classic to Open Bar | COP 100,000 ($31) | 3 cocktails or 5 beers |
| Mantas Lounge: Lounge Chair to Lounge + Open Bar | COP 100,000 ($31) | 5 cocktails (2x1 price) or 5 beers |
| Isla del Pirata: Just Beach to Open Bar | COP 120,000 ($37) | 3 cocktails or 6 beers |
| Kabanna: Basic to Basic Open Bar | COP 130,000 ($40) (also adds a double sun bed) | 3 cocktails or 7 beers |
| Kabanna: VIP to VIP Open Bar | COP 140,000 ($43) | 4 cocktails or 7 beers |
At Luxury Beach Club, Corona Island and the Flamante cruises there is no plan without the open bar, so compare the table above with the whole plan: at Luxury Beach Club, 4 cocktails and 4 beers already cost about $81 at island prices. If you will have one or two drinks, skip the open bar and pay for them on the island. A short window only helps if you drink during those hours. Mantas already gives 2x1 cocktails, which is why its break even counts cocktails at half price.
Stay hydrated at an open bar in the Caribbean heat
The Rosario Islands are hot and sunny, and the boat ride adds wind and sun. Heat and alcohol both make it easier to get dehydrated, so plan your water along with your drinks.
